Huffy Seatpost Size

So, I acquired a coveted "Huffy Bicycle". I had actually been looking for an old Raleigh 3 speed or something similar to ride to the bus stop - and then THIS bike was dumped in a pile of "Free" stuff nearly at the end of my driveway. Of course, I had to take a look, and despite the Huffy brand, it has a Sturmey Archer 3 speed rear hub. Great! Just what I'm looking for, and the price is right. All I need is a seat and seat post.

In my parts bin, I have 7/8" seatpost - it is too big. So I order a 13/16 Wald Seatpost off of Amazon . .. and it is too SMALL!!

I've looked online, but I can't find any chart with showing any intermediary sizes between these two seat post sizes. Of course, I can wrap the smaller seatpost with a beer can and make it work, but that doesn't sit well with my latent OCD tendencies. Anyone know of a seatpost size BETWEEN 7/8" and 13/16"? Pics show actual measurement's in mm.
